Patton never made a Pro Bowl in his 13-year career, but played at a very high level for over a decade. Perhaps his best season came in 1997, when he racked up 135 tackles and 4.5 sacks for the Washington Redskins. He started 163 games with Buffalo, Washington and Kansas City.

Rivera anchored the line in Green Bay for 8 seasons, helping Brett Favre and the Packers reach Super Bowl XXXII after Rivera's rookie season. He signed a free-agent deal with the Cowboys in 2005 and retired two seasons later after three Pro-Bowl appearances in a 10-year career.

Joyner teamed up with Reggie White, Clyde Simmons and Andre Waters in Buddy Ryan's fierce 46 defense in Philly, racking up 875 tackles and 37.0 sacks in 8 years with the Eagles. The three-time Pro-Bowler ended his career in stints with the Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos.

Pick no. 172 is the least productive of all of the Hawks' 2014 slots, producing just one player -- Green Bay guard Darrel Gofourth -- who started more than 50 NFL games. Current Seahawks corner Jeremy Lane has a chance to improve the pick’s reputation after a promising start to his career.

The underrated Landry earned a starting spot alongside Ed Reed in his rookie season in Baltimore, picking up 70 tackles, 5 interceptions and 3 sacks in a well-rounded effort. He spent two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars before signing with the New York Jets for the 2013 season.

With 5.0 sacks in his rookie season, Cole proved to be an immediate pass-rush threat for the Eagles. He burst onto the scene in 2007 with a 12.5-sack Pro-Bowl season and has since registered four double-digit sack campaigns in his 9-year career in Philadelphia.

The former Coug will never be confused with one of the great signal-callers to play the game, but in a league that values winning over all, his 45-27 record as a starter in Washington -- including his MVP performance in the 'Skins Super Bowl XXVI win over the Bills -- stands on its own.

Dotson was another mid-round pick who turned into a solid and steady -- if unspectacular -- pro. He never matched the 10 sacks he compiled during his rookie season, but remained a consistent force along the line for the Bucs and the Packers, where he was a starter on the Super-Bowl-XXXI-winning squad.

Meggett only started 12 games at running back in his 10-year career, but his return ability made him one of the Bill Parcells' most dangerous weapons. Meggett totaled 8 return touchdowns for the Giants and Patriots, and was a member of a New York team that won Super Bowl XXV over Buffalo.

The durable Gray (left) began his career in South Florida, but really made his mark in the Emerald City, where he helped pave the way for Shaun Alexander and protect Matt Hasselbeck (right) in the Hawks' run to Super Bowl XL. Gray set a Seattle franchise record with 121 straight starts before retiring prior to the 2008 season.

After coming to the desert following a highly decorated college career with the Seminoles, Dockett hasn't disappointed. He became a leader for the Cardinals, earning three Pro-Bowl appearances with his play while maintaining his outspoken nature -- just check out his Twitter account.

Duerson made four consecutive Pro Bowls and started on one of the most feared defenses of all time: the Super-Bowl-winning 1985 Bears. In 1986, the 6-foot-1, 207-pounder tallied 6 interceptions and 7 sacks, earning second-team AP All-Pro honors in the process. He died in 2011 after a struggle with brain injuries he attributed to repeated concussions from his playing days.

The former Wolfpack star earned a starting job in his second season in Arizona and didn't give it up for more than a decade. A five-time Pro-Bowler, Wilson earned first-team AP All-Pro honors in 2009, when he tallied 76 tackles, 5 interceptions and 2 sacks. His NFL career looks finished after he signed with New England Patriots prior to the 2013 season, but didn't play a down due to injury.

The former Husky was a fixture in the Windy City, starting in the middle of the Bears' line for a dozen years. Kreutz was named a Pro Bowler six times, including a 2006 season in which he was selected as an AP first-team All-Pro. He was named as a member of the NFL's All-Decade team for the 2000's.

As the trigger-man in head coach Don Coryell's “Air Coryell” offense, Fouts became one of the forerunners of the modern passing game, throwing for over 43,000 yards in his career. The “Bearded QB” was a Pro-Bowl selection six times and an AP first-team All-Pro in 1979 and 1982. Fouts was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993.

Ellard was a model of consistency in his 16-year NFL career, teaming with quarterback Jim Everett and fellow wideout Flipper Anderson to give the Rams one of the league's most exciting passing attacks. He was named AP first-team All-Pro in 1988, when he led the NFL with 1,414 receiving yards.

Our third center on the list, Donaldson played for an amazing 17 years, 13 with the Colts alone. He was named to the Pro Bowl in four straight seasons with Indianapolis and in his final two campaigns with the Cowboys, where he was a member of the Super-Bowl-XXX-winning squad.

Smerlas made an immediate impact with the Bills, making four consecutive Pro-Bowl appearances from 1980 through 1983 and a fifth in 1988. A true nose-tackle, Smerlas would go on to start 152 games for Buffalo over 11 seasons before finishing his career with the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots.

Many draftniks considered it a reach when the Patriots took Mankins with the last pick in the first round in 2005, but in New England he's developed into one of the best guards in recent memory. A six-time Pro-Bowler and All-Pro in 2010, Mankins has helped protect Tom Brady en route to three Super Bowl appearances, including a win in Super Bowl XXXIX.

The Chargers took Brees with the first pick in the second round after trading out of the No. 1 spot so the Atlanta Falcons could take Michael Vick. After five good seasons in San Diego he signed with the New Orleans Saints, where he developed into one of the most prolific passers in NFL history and a surefire Hall-of-Famer. The eight-time Pro-Bowler and two-time AP first-team All-Pro was the MVP of Super Bowl XLIV, when he led the Saints to their first championship in franchise history.
